Convergence Analysis of the Spectral Method for Second-Kind Volterra Integral Equations with a Weakly Singular Kernel

Article Preview

Abstract:

The Legendre spectral Galerkin method for Volterra integral equations of the second kind with a weakly singular kernel is proposed in this paper. We provide a rigorous error analysis for the proposed method, which indicates that the numerical errors (in the L2 -norm and the L∞ -norm ) will decay exponentially provided that the source function is sufficiently smooth. Numerical examples are given to illustrate the theoretical results.
